Behold! Henning merged all the OpenJDK-related recipes which means that from now on it is not necessary anymore to use the Jalimo overlays for those. I know that some people were nearly giving up on whether this happens anytime but if you have a look at the actual files you'll see that an OpenJDK-build is a complex beast and that is true although there is already a fine harness called IcedTea around it, that takes a great share of making the build process simpler.
I personally thank the cool guys at *BugLabs* who are sponsoring the latest improvements! Everyone else: Go buy more Bugs. :-) I will soon update the 'Java' page in our wiki and describe how the build process works. It might also happen that I give a talk at this year's frOScon (St. Augustin, Germany) about it. AFAIU Ken Gilmer of BugLabs fame will do the same at this years JavaOne. Caveats: While the recipes are fine and I think the packaging is of very high quality, we are experiencing some instability issues with jamvm-initial which can make it spontaneously crash and therefore let the OpenJDK build fail. We're on it. Btw: I was once told by Sun people that building the JDK on an ARM device takes around 24hrs (!!). A build of the 'openjdk-6' recipe itself (no dependencies) is around half an hour. Cool? Enjoy! Robert
